The holidays are fast approaching, but that\u2019s no excuse for San Antonio music fans to park themselves on the couch and watch the twinkling Christmas lights. Not with a spate of shows this good on the horizon. <\/p>\n

Wednesday, Dec. 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gary Clark Jr.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grammy-winning blues-rock guitar god Gary Clark Jr. has proven himself anything but a flash in the pan. In part, he stands out through his willingness to reach across genres. He\u2019s worked with the Foo Fighters, Sheryl Crow and other high-profile names you wouldn\u2019t necessarily expect a blues purist to rub shoulders with. He\u2019s also broken into the film biz via acting roles in\u00a0Elvis, Miles Ahead\u00a0and\u00a0Friday Night Lights.\u00a0Clark will perform solo for this show, providing fans an intimate experience with the Texas legend-in-the-making \u2014 and one that may warrant chasing down a ticket from a scalper.\u00a0Sold out, 8 p.m., Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Road, New Braunfels, (830) 606-1281, gruenehall. com.\u00a0\u2014 Bill Baird<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marc Broussard, Taylor Rae<\/strong><\/p>\n

Louisiana native Marc Broussard channels his Southern roots into a unique and soulful blend that includes blues, rock and R&B. Even though his father served as guitarist for acclaimed born-on-the-bayout outfit The Boogie Kings, Broussard\u2019s amassed plenty of respect for his own musical contributions. With a dozen studio albums behind him, he\u2019s clearly no slouch, and he especially shines while covering \u201970s artists on his four\u00a0S.O.S: Save Our Soul\u00a0albums, which feature interpretations of classics by Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke and others.\u00a0$31.17-$87.49, 8 p.m., Stable Hall, 307 Pearl Parkway, stablehall.com.\u00a0\u2014 Danny Cervantes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ellis Bullard<\/strong><\/p>\n

When an artist\u2019s catalog includes an album called\u00a0Piss-Hot Freightlinin\u2019 Country Music,
that should be a selling point. And true to that name, Austin honky tonker Ellis Bullard leans pretty deep into the Texas twang. His speciality is fun dancehall country in the old mold \u2014 think Waylon, Merle and that whole gang. Which is to say, it\u2019s country, but it rocks.\u00a0$17, 8 p.m., Lonesome Rose, 2114 N. St. Mary\u2019s St., (210) 455-0233, thelonesomerosesa.com.\u00a0\u2014 BB<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hayes Carll<\/strong><\/p>\n

Texan Hayes Carll gained notoriety by becoming the first artist to self-release an album that jumped to No. 1 on the Americana radio chart. From there, he signed to Lost Highway Records and notched appearances on the\u00a0Tonight Show\u00a0and\u00a0Austin City Limits. The Houstonian is known for his humor and straightforward delivery, and Americana icon Steve Earle notoriously called him \u201ca younger, skinnier, less talented singer-songwriter.\u201d Controversy aside, Carll\u2019s tunes posses an entertaining swagger. He\u2019s on his yearly Grateful for Christmas tour, which involves lots of between-song storytelling and yuletide cheer.\u00a0$59, 8 p.m., Stable Hall, 307 Pearl Parkway, stablehall.com.\u00a0\u2014 BB<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Doc Watkins Trio presents: A Charlie Brown Christmas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Certain music transcends the pop culture from which it sprung, and that certainly applies to jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi\u2019s soundtrack to\u00a0A Charlie Brown Christmas. San Antonio ivory tickler Doc Watkins and his trio will bring the holiday classic to life in the cozy confines of his iconic basement haunt. But here\u2019s hoping Santa has already stuffed some tickets into your Apple Wallet, because the shows are already sold out.\u00a0Sold out, 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m., JazzTX, 312 Pearl Parkway, (210) 332-9386, jazztx.com.\u00a0\u2014 DC<\/strong><\/p>\n
